Traffic Incident Management Basics (Roads Scholar Program - Course 6) - This 4-hour class is available to all disciplines of emergency responders, is a pre-requisite to attend the 6-hour TIMS Instructor class, and covers building teams who can work together in a coordinated manner, from the moment the first emergency call is made. You will learn the correct deployment of response vehicles and equipment, how to create a safe work area using traffic control devices, and techniques to speed up accident clearance with an emphasis on reducing the number of struck-by and deaths of roadway workers and responders, reducing secondary crashes, reducing on-scene times of responders of roadway incidents and continuing public education with regard to Oklahoma traffic laws pertaining to this issue.

The above link is the video that we showed to everyone at the Oklahoma LTAP Motor Grader Operator Training in Choctaw. It may take several minutes to download and view this video if you have slower internet speeds, but it will be worth the wait. This training was a (3) three-day hands-on workshop which covered motor grader safety, maintenance inspections, and basic road maintenance techniques. Students spent time both in the classroom and on a Caterpillar, John Deere, or a Case motor grader practicing what they have learned. Professional instructors representing the equipment manufactures were available in the class and in the field to provide help and suggestions for improving the operator's skills. Watch for the Oklahoma LTAP Backhoe & Excavator Operator Training coming on March 27, 28,& 29, 2018, in Choctaw, Oklahoma.
